Overall I give the case high marks in construction, quality, and layout. The front panel is obviously quite useful in a HTPC environment, and the little touches here and there make it really stand out.
The system cases reviewed today all made a very positive impression. The GMC R2 Toast and R3 Corona are interesting due to their nonstandard layout that helped make them considerably smaller than standard cases. … The GMC AVC-K2 is quite a nice surprise, too. A well-designed full-size tower with an integrated HTPC-oriented kit is something we don’t see often. Considering its excellent exterior, the AVC-K2 will be a good choice for people whose computer is meant for work, games, multimedia entertainment - everything!

The Noblesse K-2 Ebony pulls out all the stops to provide you with a true all in one media PC enclosure. With back lit card reader slots and a remote, all that’s missing is a good HTPC build. The case is solidly built at over 22 lbs empty so it won’t be your LAN party weapon of choice unless you really are showing off. The combination of the software and hardware controls included is unparalleled. The inclusion of the SoundGraph software package brings an out of the box multimedia functionality requiring no additional purchases or software to your build.
Video Review of the GMC K2 Ebony HTPC / Media PC case, and the R-2 and R-3 ATX Mid-Tower cases. Rodney provides a full tour of these cases on this vide, available in standard or HD quality.
" If you have room for the case, it will definitely make a very nice HTPC setup. The large 140mm front fan and rear 120mm fan provide adequate cooling for even power hungry rigs, with the fan controller allowing you to find the perfect balance between noise and cooling (even though the fans on full speed are pretty quiet). "
Computer-Translated to English: "As a Media Center box, it offers a lot of attention as a VFD screen, multimedia buttons, navigation buttons, a remote control and a memory card reader.... It could involve people in a small space like a dorm room, a studio or a small apartment and see him in a box that can serve as both a desktop PC and Media Center."
